Escherichia coli from clinical mastitis

Escherichia coli mastitis in the Dairy Bovine

Mastitis is a continuous concern for dairy producers in the US because of its economic consequences. Coliform mastitis accounts for 20-80% of acute clinical mastitis cases and includes gram-negative pathogens Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Enterobacter species. Rapid identification of the causative organism is essential to implement a prudent treatment plan. Escherichia coli can be rapidly id...

Curli Production and ERIC-PCR Fingerprinting of Escherichia coli from Clinical Cases of Bovine Mastitis

Investigation of Virulence Factors in Escherichia Coli Isolated from Clinical and Subclinical Bovine Mastitis

Escherichia coli, an opportunistic environmental pathogen, is one of the commonest causes of bovine clinical mastitis in the early lactation period. Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) whose pathogenesis is associated with enterotoxigenic genes (stxI, stxII, and eaeA) cause serious acute illness and long-term side effects in both animals and humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the...

Genome Sequences of Two Bovine Mastitis-Causing Escherichia coli Strains

Escherichia coli is one of the main pathogenic agents causing inflammatory infections in the bovine udder. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two strains isolated from different cases of clinical mastitis.

Genomic Comparative Study of Bovine Mastitis Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli, one of the main causative agents of bovine mastitis, is responsible for significant losses on dairy farms. In order to better understand the pathogenicity of E. coli mastitis, an accurate characterization of E. coli strains isolated from mastitis cases is required. By using phylogenetic analyses and whole genome comparison of 5 currently available mastitis E. coli genome seque...
